Trouble with trusses

These are site-made trusses for a 12’ x 24’ shed. The top chords of some of them have bowed, resulting in height differences in some as much as 3/4” Only the exterior trusses on the ends have a bottom chord and a vertical web which restricted bowing of the top chords. The interior trusses just have a collar tie and no bottom chord, which I thought would make the interior trusses more easy to manipulate to adjust variances in height, but that doesn’t seem to be possible with the truss plates having no give to them. Is anyone aware of a way that I can fix this situation without removing these trusses?
